Top 15 Pharma companies – Q2 2016 performance review

All the big names published their Q2 results during the summer. After spending some time on the beach, looking at their numbers is a good way to be immersed in the industry again.

During this last earnings season, performances were extremely heterogeneous. AbbVie and BMS had stellar revenue growth while AstraZeneca, Gilead and Sanofi showed poor performance for diverse reasons (explained below in the table – NB: you can click on it to make it bigger).

Comparing the Top 15 each quarter is insightful and allows me to spot pockets of growth and dynamism in the industry as well as challenges and red flags.
